I've only heard of a couple of cases where "Mr Happy" actually developed a severe infection and shriveled up and fell off within the last week so I am quite sure you'll be fine <img src='http://www.bariatricpal.com/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tongue.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':P' />

Muhahhahahahahahahhahha (Sorry but I just couldn't resist)

I had one at Cleveland Clinic Florida. It honestly wasn't a big deal and it didn't hurt coming out for me. Maybe I just have a high pain tolerance.

I had one put in while I was awake by a female nurse in the ICU. That was probably the most awkward thing I have ever done in my life. At least she kind of looked like Angelina Jolie. It is kind of painful when going in and coming out, but only for a minute or so.

As others have already pointed out not all surgeons will insist on one. One benefit is that you will be able to piss like a racehorse for about a day after they remove it :)

I was worried about the exact same thing!!! My wife asked me if I was nervous about the surgery and I said no, I was nervous about a tube being jammed in my d***. I even asked the nurse a bunch of times to make sure I was out before they inserted it. I think I need a tatto that says "Exit Only"

I woke up with a catheter. Was not a big deal. I had a morphine iv pain pump. Hit the button for iv morphine just before. The nurse took it out at 0600 the next day. When it's in it may feel like you have to urinate a little bit. It was not at painful at all. Only took a second to for the nurse take it out. A ballon in your bladder holds the Cather tube in place. When that is deflated the Cather comes out easily.

Well, I'll be. I never realized there was a balloon on the other end of it. It is a good thing no one told me about this before hand or I would have chickened out.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
